Sonnet Technologies Sonnet G5 Jive

Looking to add more drives to your perforated performer? Out of the box, your Power Mac G5 provides mounting support for only two hard drives (and one slot is already occupied), so if your needs are limited, that might work out just fine... But, what if you need more storage space than two drives can muster, and you don't want the added expense or desktop clutter of external storage? Check out the G5 Jive - G5 Jive provides secure anchorage for three additional drives and all the cables necessary to connect them to a Serial ATA host controller card - just add SATA drives to create the most cost-effective solution for adding high-performance storage capacity to a Power Mac G5. Using Mac OS X Disk Utility or third party software and multiple drives, you can create a striped (RAID 0) array to achieve great read/write performance, or a mirrored (RAID 1) array for data security. For even greater flexibility and performance, an additional drive in the Power Mac G5's second drive bay can be included with the G5 Jive drives in a RAID O array - a four drive striped array can achieve data transfer rates up to 274 MB/s!

G5 Jive consists of a custom metal base plate and mounting bracket, mounting screws, three internal SATA data cables, and a custom-designed 3-drive SATA power cable. It mounts in the space at the bottom of the case beneath the optical drive, and its installation has zero impact on PCI slots and adapter cards. When combined with a high-performance Serial ATA host controller card like the Tempo-X eSATA 4+4, G5 Jive makes it possible for you to add up to three additional internal drives now and four external drives in the future.
